R&D Expenditure Credits (RDEC)

It can be difficult, time-consuming and cumbersome to identify and calculate Research and Development Expenditure Credit claims in complex businesses.

It doesn't have to be.

In many large businesses, R&D isn't carried out by just one department or facility. It often, involves multiple teams and locations. This can make compiling an R&D Expenditure Credit (RDEC) claim more complicated; with the need to collect information from large numbers of employees, requiring significant time and project management.

MMP takes care of this for you with an assigned project manager as part of the delivery team to ensure the work is completed painlessly and on time.

Our team schedule interviews with the right people in your organisation, drilling down to gather the necessary information requiring minimal input from your side.

We provide milestone reporting, so you'll always know where we're at in the process.

As RDEC has become more generous, so has the level of scrutiny applied to each claim. This means more documentation is required and there are increased enquiries.

HMRC is simply doing its job

MMP doesn't get many enquiries because all our claims are prepared in a clear, detailed and thorough manner, with the right supporting materials. But when we do, our experienced team communicates effectively with HMRC, responding to their questions and helping them to close the enquiry while reducing any stress you may feel.

If your RDEC claim has an enquiry opened, and you don't feel you are getting the support you need, please speak to us about our HMRC enquiry service.
